Mentor Videos
Allison found the perfect balance while mentoring at IOB – she's able to blend her creativity alongside her desire to teach and help students. And while the students have learned so much from her, Allison has realized she's learned something too.
Like our students, our mentors have their own SpIns (Special Interests). Our mentors share their passions while realizing, “We’re Not So Different.”
Meet the power duo of IOB student, Will, and his mentor, Jerry.
